1) SCIENTIST: The climax of the ordinary consciousness is science. For science what is upon earth, on the gross physical plane, is true, real, simply because it is there. What it calls “nature” is for it the final reality, and its aim is to build up a theory to explain the workings of it. So, it climbs as high as the physical mind in its inferential or deductive mode can go and tries to find out the causes of what it assumes to be the true, the real world. But, in fact, it adapts causes to effects, for it has already taken that which is for it the true, the real, and seeks only to explain it mentally or through thoughts, symbols and ideas without ever having a direct vision and knowledge of the objects of its inquiry.

1) YOGI: For the yogic consciousness, however, this world is not the final reality. Rising above the exteriorized mind - not in the intellectual way nor by way of mere thoughts or ideas represented mathematically or verbally – through a series of trance states by which it directly connects with the forces and phenomena of each cosmic plane of physical and supra physical consciousness, it enters the subtle world of “first” truths, and looking from there at the lower planes of existence sees how involuted or distorted the so-called ineluctable or unchangeable facts have become, how completely falsified and superficial everything has become ! So, the so-called world of facts is for the Yogi a falsehood and not at all the true reality. It is not what it ought to be, it is almost the very opposite; whereas for the scientist it is absolutely true or fundamental.

2) SCIENTIST: The scientist says that whatever is is natural and cannot be changed at heart. But, really speaking, the laws of which he usually speaks are of his own mental making seen from the viewpoint of the physical extension of the consciousness. And because he accepts nature as it is as the very basis, things do not and cannot change for him in any complete sense though several proofs to the contrary exist like the medically verified case of a minor yogi from Gujarat (Nov 28, 2003, The Times of India), who, in brazen defiance of every scientific dogma concerning the so-called needs of the body and the so-called fixed effects and ineluctability of the physical laws, has abstained from food, sleep, drink, excretion and medication for the past 70 years.

2) YOGI: The aim of the Yogi is to “change things”. According to the Yogi, all this can be changed, because he knows that there is something subtler, finer, seeking manifestation in and through the physical with which it is intimately linked. There are no rigid or fixed laws here; even science in its rare undogmatic moments recognises that the laws are mere mental constructions. There are only cases, and if the mind could apply itself to all the circumstances it would find that no two cases are exactly similar. With the infusion of a higher element of consciousness-force into the existing system things undergo a radical change.

Consciousness can neither be created nor destroyed and until it attains to a state of perfect stato-dynamic equilibrium it is subject to the causal laws of manifestation and non-manifestation in cyclical fashion.

Geo-political borders are a mischievous device that creates artificial barriers to divide people and to foster unhealthy competition among the various nations besides creating blocs of nations each opposed to the others.

Laws are mental constructs. As mind evolves further, what appears sane and legit today will appear obsolete and superfluous and maybe even outright perverse tomorrow. There's no last word on law and justice.
